And it was a landslide victory for Léa, who obtained eight votes to a few for Meïssa. The day after this night, the overwhelmed adventurer gave an interview to Purepeople.com. The chance for him to look again on his journey strewn with pitfalls and one of the strategic. Which exactly earned him his defeat…
How do you are feeling after this emotional finale?
Right now I really feel a whole lot of happiness. I’m very very glad. I obtained a whole lot of congratulatory messages. I made my individuals, my mother and father, proud. There I’m nonetheless on cloud 9 the day after this very lovely night.
The winner of this season is finally Léa, what do you suppose?
I’m very glad for Léa. She deserved her victory. Nobody invited her to the posts, she went to search out her place. She was first at orientation, she did very, very nicely. On high of that, she gained the posts! She will be very happy with herself. She didn’t steal her victory.
A lot of your ex-teammates from the pink staff voted for Léa. Do you perceive this alternative?
Sure, I hear this alternative of the ex-reds which was to vote for Léa and never for me. A alternative is revered. They’d two alternatives, they selected. However I don’t essentially share the explanations for this alternative. It is a part of the sport, there isn’t any animosity. So I perceive, there isn’t any downside.
Earlier than the ultimate, had you thought-about one other situation that will offer you a win?
Earlier than arriving on the ultimate council, I inform myself that every thing is feasible: there are six ex-reds in opposition to 5 ex-yellows. After which at that second, I’m so glad and proud to have had this journey. I had no concept of this animosity till I got here nose to nose with the ultimate jury. I used to be simply very glad, under no circumstances ready to have to clarify myself to individuals who really feel pissed off with me. I didn’t count on that. I simply thought I would clarify to them how I acquired there. However it’s true that after the ultimate council, I had my very own concept of everybody’s votes. I believed possibly it would not be good for me.
You shone on the finish of the journey however regardless of that, your comrades nonetheless maintain a grudge in opposition to you… What do you consider these resentments?
I believe it is private frustration, but it surely’s nonetheless a sense. There are 22 adventurers subsequently 22 truths on this Koh-Lanta. One particular person’s fact is just not one other’s. I utterly perceive when some individuals speak to me about betrayal, however for me it stays frustration. It is as if we have been taking part in soccer and a good friend criticized me for working quicker than him on the sphere: it is my sport, I’ve the precise to do it. There it is the identical: taking part in technique, being good within the occasions, good within the camp… All of those are qualities to have on Koh-Lanta. Some have one and others do not. It is simply involvement in relation to our expertise. However I hear it will probably disappoint.
How did you strategy the pole take a look at?
I used to be very, very centered. It is day 38, I am the final boy standing going through two ladies. In my head, I’ve no proper to disappoint now. We’re reaching the top, I’ve come all this manner for this second: I’ve no room for error. I arrived with this mind-set. And I believe it was the identical for the women as a result of they did not wish to fall (laughs). That is additionally why it was a really, excellent ultimate. Seeing them keep there made me maintain on longer.
How did you are feeling when Léa selected you?
A really, very sturdy feeling of accomplishment. And I felt it as quickly as I fell from the posts. I instructed myself that the subsequent day, there was no extra problem, I had completed the sport. However then reaching the ultimate stage, that of being among the many final two finalists, it was a grandiose feeling, a anonymous delight. I instructed myself that I might have issues to speak about at residence. I replayed the entire journey in my head and I used to be overcome with delight.
She signifies that she chooses you since you have been the final to fall. A proof that some query… What do you suppose?
All I do know is that she made the precise alternative! I believe that logically, there’s technique in his alternative. In his place, I might have accomplished precisely the identical factor. I believe she was conscious that the ex-yellows but in addition the ex-reds have been mad at me. She performed her card very nicely. She emerged victorious yesterday so good for her! Past technique, there’s additionally friendship on this alternative. We respect one another so much. It is regular and logical to make a logical alternative whereas giving your self the utmost likelihood of successful.
Earlier than this final ordeal, you spent an evening in a faculty, how did that go?
This evening on dry land went rather well. We have been in a position to sleep on small camp beds, with a cushion. We have been utterly disconnected from the sport. I have to definitely have been dreaming (laughs). All I may take into consideration was the posts that awaited us. Every little thing was magnificent, the college is in an idyllic location. It was actually good occasions. We took full benefit of this consolation. I acquired off the bed on the final minute, scratched so long as potential. Consolation will be quite simple issues. Even seeing the street, automobiles, strolling on mown grass… It is precisely this little consolation that we wanted on the eve of the poles.
What was probably the most tough factor about dwelling on the camp?
Consolation. And that additionally contains climate situations: warmth, rain… Globally exterior occasions, these over which I’ve no management. My mindset, starvation, was additionally very tough however controllable as a result of I knew I had no alternative, I had accepted with these situations. It was simpler to take. Then again, the remaining… There have been additionally little uncomfortable issues just like the little animals that drove me loopy. However fortuitously, I remained sturdy sufficient within the head!
Some comrades reported affected by consuming problems upon their return, was this the case for you too?
I did not undergo from that. It is true that on the way in which again I felt like I all the time needed to examine if there was something to eat. Like a worry of lacking out. Typically I might open the fridge and say to myself: ‘However I am loopy, I am not even hungry, I do not even know why I am opening the fridge!’ In any other case, in itself, I managed to pay attention fairly rapidly. I acquired again into sport rapidly. After which we’re nicely surrounded. We have now a psychologist accessible for that, in addition to a medical workers who helps us return to a standard weight-reduction plan. If I had any considerations about this I might have been adopted.
What has modified in your life since Koh-Lanta?
Other than being acknowledged on the street, not a lot has modified in my life. I nonetheless have the identical rhythm of life. At present, I’m nonetheless in control of debt assortment, I nonetheless dwell with my mother and father and I’m nonetheless the identical man as earlier than Koh-Lanta. With slightly extra delight and certainty in my head anyway.
You had talked about a potential profession as an actor… What about it?
I’ve all the time liked performing. It has been one among my passions since I used to be very younger. I like every thing that revolves round cinema, particularly sequence. However I did not even keep in mind saying that in the course of the present (laughs)! I’ve no information within the subject however I might be very curious to delve into it. As of proper now, I have not accomplished any casting or something. But when somebody calls me I come immediately (laughs). I stay open to discovering cinema, to some other chance on the topic.
